Watch Black Dynamite, not this nonsense


You wanna see a Blacksploitation parody that's actaully smart and funny? Watch Black Dynamite. Undercover Brother is a lame duck, complete with the gamut of tired, boring, low-brow jokes and cliched stereotypes. You deserve better. It was good for one thing though, it reminded me how nice it is to not see Eddie Griffin, Chris Kattan, or Denise Richards in movies anymore. Hacks.

Well for 8 years Black Dynamite wasn't out. What's wrong with stereotypes? They usually make for good comedy...Thinking about this movie makes me want to have a nappy meal.

I don't mind satire through stereotypes if they're funny or creative, but so much of comedy these days just shoots for the lowest common denominator, i.e. cheap tired jokes based on boring old cliches. If you are gonna go there, go there in a way that's interesting, and possibly new or innovative, like Black Dynamite. Undercover Brother was kind of insulting and disrespectful. Like the writers just took the easy way out, and didn't really challenge themselves. Kind of a waste. Yet it's flashy and cheap and for some stupid reason I am talking about it today. While Black Dynamite will probably never receive the same attention, which is a shame. If it weren't for the integrity and innovation of the filmaker's vision with BD, no one would've heard of it. I wish the public had higher standards, and Hollywood wouldn't get away with pumping out so much garbage.

Agreed, that's why Black Dynamite is funny while this one is just racist garbage.

I havent seen Black Dynamite yet, but Undercover Brother wasn't bad. It had many funny moments, in my opinion.

This movie is funny as hell, take that stick out of your ass. Havent seen Black Dynamite yet but will actually rent it tomorrow.

Pure ignorance and time difference at it's best. Both movies sucked, and as much as I hate 'Undercover Brother', Black Dynamite was one of the worst things I have ever seen in my entire life. GARBAGE.

The only reason you think that this culturally bias POS is any better is because it's a more modern and up to date sellout "brotha" movie than it's predecessors. You and I both know that ALL of these sellout movies suck, but proclaiming one to be better than the next only concerns time difference. They both sucked and should be stricken from memory.

BD was ok. It did portray Blacksploitation very well but when it came down to laughs, UB takes the cake. It's at the top of my funniest movies list. I'm not even a Eddie Griffin fan and I think most of his movies are wack, but this movie was funny has hell. I showed some older 40+ white guys this and they were cracking up too. Went home and watched it with their families. I think age does have a big factor in whether you like this or not. I think people 30+ would enjoy it as they can easily recognize the gags. Younger folks may not relate so much.

Black Dynamite was good, Undercover Brother was better. I haven't seen any blaxploitation movies but I thought undercover brother was like a black Austin Powers and was really hoping for a sequel. Another older parody of the same type of movies is I'm gonna git you sucka. I'd have thought someone would have brought that one up

reply

I can't believe I forgot to mention that too. In, order from best to worst IMO

1) Undercover Brother
2) I'm gonna git you sucka
3) Black Dynamite
